I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Sure enough, Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi look exactly alike.

If you stand in the dark, with even a little light, you can't tell the difference between the two people at all.

Hattori Heiji shrugged helplessly before speaking.

"Oh dear, I'm Hattori Heiji."

"The famous detective of Kansai, as the saying goes, Hattori of Kansai and Kudo of Kanto. Hattori in that story refers to me, the number one detective in the Kansai region."

"And why does it sound so strange? This is pure Osaka dialect, it's a form of Japanese, you know?"

...Heiji Hattori? Never heard of him before.

Kazumi Tsukamoto was somewhat skeptical.

How could there be two people in this world who look exactly alike?

If you said they were biological brothers or blood relatives, that would be one thing, but this so-called Hattori Heiji is from Kansai, how could he possibly look like Kudo Shinichi from Kanto?

But seeing that Ran Mouri wasn't going to expose her, Kazumi Tsukamoto stopped worrying about it and simply said...

"All these campus ghost stories are just rumors."

"There are no ghosts causing trouble, and nothing magical has happened. The table that has been in the warehouse for so long was moved from the classroom after Hosaka died."

"The so-called crying in the warehouse was just a prank."

"The same goes for those four books in the library. They're just left aside. Every day, when no one is looking, they'll toss them aside a little, and that only lasts for a few days before they stop."

"Do ghosts and monsters even get holidays?"

"As for the so-called water under the stairs..."

"It's just a puddle of water. Anyone can throw a puddle of water there if they want to. According to this logic, if a puddle of water is Hosaka's tears, then Hosaka's tears are probably a bit too many."

Kazumi Tsukamoto said earnestly.

"Hosaka-san and I are classmates."

"Therefore, I do not want you to spread these unfounded school ghost stories about Hosaka-san anymore. Since Hosaka-san is gone, please show some respect for the deceased."

Suzuki Sonoko instinctively hid behind Chen En before speaking timidly.

"Oh."

Although they were classmates, Sonoko Suzuki had also met Kazumi Tsukamoto.

However, she had no connection with the karate club, so she only bumped into Ran Mouri a few times when they went home together, and there was no real connection between them.

Seeing that Kazumi Iemoto seemed to be looking for trouble, he immediately became a little timid.

However, Sonoko Suzuki was still somewhat disappointed.

I never imagined that all the ghost stories on campus were just fabrications made up by other people.

It wasn't the ghost of Hideaki Hosaka at all, which is a bit disappointing. I should have known better than to bother A-En with this special trip; it was such a waste of time.

However, Chen En merely glanced at the desk and lingered there for a moment.

He felt that if the person who created the three school ghost stories knew that someone was investigating school ghost stories again, they would definitely make a move again today, and the best ghost story prop would be this desk.

All you need to do is make this desk appear quietly in a place it shouldn't be, when no one believes it.

The contrast and sense of dislocation are enough to make one's scalp tingle and hair stand on end.

But this was exactly what Chen En had expected; otherwise, he wouldn't have installed surveillance systems all over the school in advance to catch people...

Everything was ready, except for that guy making his move again.

Chen En whispered words of comfort to Suzuki Sonoko behind him.

Meanwhile, Heiji Hattori and Conan walked out of the sports warehouse one after the other, completely focused on solving the mystery.

They still felt that the incident was not so simple.

Hattori Heiji inquired.

"Could you please tell me where the library mentioned in the second ghost story is located?"

"If it really is just someone else's prank, you probably wouldn't mind if others went to check out the library, right? But I'm not very familiar with the layout of Teitan High School's library, so I need to ask you..."

He could have asked Sonoko Suzuki or Ran Mouri, but he chose to ask Kazumi Tsukamoto instead.

Heiji Hattori felt that Kazumi Tsukamoto was a little suspicious.

Perhaps this person is the mastermind behind the campus ghost stories...

"The library? Okay, come with me."

Kazumi Tsukamoto replied without hesitation.

"It just so happens that I also need to go to the library to study."

"I'll give you a ride along the way, but remember, after we finish exploring today, don't spread those baseless rumors about Hideaki Hosaka's ghost haunting the place."

Chapter 1079 The Fall of the Holy Son of the Electric Sect

Now that it has been confirmed that the three major campus ghost stories are nothing but hoaxes.

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, who were initially a little nervous, relaxed.

They chatted and laughed about things related to detectives.

As childhood friends who are both high school detectives, they have quite a few things in common in this regard, and now they can exchange some experiences to help them deal with things in the future.

Meanwhile, Sonoko Suzuki, bored, chatted with Chen En about mascots.

Although Chen En was somewhat resistant to Sonoko Suzuki's idea, he did not explicitly reject it, since he would have to wear a wig to hide his true identity anyway.

If all else fails, just go for it. Nobody knows who's actually wearing the mascot costume anyway.

At worst, my buddy can learn voice imitation from Phantom Thief Kid, or have Professor Agasa make a voice changer so he can speak in someone else's voice inside a suit, thus eliminating all possibilities of his identity being exposed.

Isn't it beautiful?

However, just as Tsukamoto Kazumi was leading her group toward the library.

On the corridor leading from the warehouse to the library, a figure casually walked over, carrying a school uniform. His gaze fell on the direction from which the group had come out, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he reached out to greet them.

"Hey, isn't this Tsukamoto? It's so late, aren't you guys leaving school yet?"

Upon hearing this, Tsukamoto Kazumi simply replied.

"I'm going to the library to look at some books and review my studies."

She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in return.

"More than that, I'd like to ask why you're still here?"

"Shigu, if I remember correctly, you said you weren't feeling well and took the whole afternoon off. Shouldn't you have gone straight home? Why are you still at school?"

These words immediately caught the attention of Conan and Heiji Hattori.

Yes, this is indeed a strange place.

Although I don't know who this person is, Teitan High School doesn't have evening self-study sessions. Logically speaking, if I ask for leave in the afternoon, I can go straight home and there's no need to stay at school. That would be just asking for trouble.

Could this guy be deliberately staying at Teitan High School after school, trying to cause trouble?

Upon hearing this, the person whom Tsukamoto Kazumi referred to as Seko-kun simply said...

"That's why you have to listen to everything they say."

"I mean I wasn't feeling well, so I took the afternoon off. But since I took the day off, I should naturally go to the hospital to see a doctor, right? I think it's just a minor problem, so I can just come to the clinic and ask the doctor."

"Going to the hospital would not be a pleasant thing for me."

As Shigu Guofan spoke, he walked into the infirmary on one side of the corridor.

He didn't forget to say this before going in.

"Continuing to investigate that person might bring retribution."

"You'd better investigate carefully."

This immediately made Kazumi Tsukamoto frown.

She had previously been working to stop the spread of those school ghost stories about Hideaki Hosaka, but Kunishige Seko's words were tantamount to encouraging this bad trend.

If this person hadn't been riding a motorcycle and crashed into the ditch next door, he would have been hospitalized for six months.

He just got out of the hospital a few days ago, and now he probably has to have a proper physical conversation with Shigu Guofan.

Am I not good at karate?

As the former captain of the Teitan High School Karate Club, Kazumi Tsukamoto's fighting ability is at least B+ level.

She looked even thinner than Shikoku Hanabusa, but if it came down to a fight, she could take on ten or so Shikoku Hanabusas with one hand, which made Shikoku Hanabusa slam the door shut as if he were fleeing.

"...This guy."

Tsukamoto Kazumi ultimately didn't settle accounts with that person, but just muttered something before continuing.

"Alright, come with me."

The group then headed towards the library.

Before long, there were already many senior high school students studying and reviewing in the library.

Originally a forthright and loud person, Tsukamoto Kazumi became quiet and spoke softly in the library, only speaking to Hattori Heiji.

"Kudo, you see, this is the situation."

"Is there anything special about it?"

Hattori Heiji:?

I've already said I'm not Shinichi Kudo, why are you still clinging to this?

Hattori Heiji's face darkened.

However, he didn't say much, only that...
